Steps to reproduce:

<div lang="cs" style="word-break: break-word; hyphens: auto>Královský pohřeb sledují lidé po celém světě. Nebýt pandemie koronaviru, rozloučit by se přišly i desítky tisíc Britů, podobně jako tomu bylo například při pohřbu královny matky v roce 2002. Vzhledem k omezením jsou ale i oni nuceni sledovat smuteční ceremoniál pouze u televizních obrazovek.</div>
<div lang="en" style="word-break: break-word; hyphens: auto>Královský pohřeb sledují lidé po celém světě. Nebýt pandemie koronaviru, rozloučit by se přišly i desítky tisíc Britů, podobně jako tomu bylo například při pohřbu královny matky v roce 2002. Vzhledem k omezením jsou ale i oni nuceni sledovat smuteční ceremoniál pouze u televizních obrazovek.</div>

Actual results:

The text is in the Czech language. If provided lang="cs", hyphenation didn't work. If provied lang="en", hyphenation did work.

Expected results:

Provided lang="cs", the text should have been hyphenated, with lang="en" it shouldn't have.

Firefox doesn't currently include hyphenation patterns for Czech.

There are Czech patterns in the tex-hyphen collection that could be adapted and incorporated, from a technical point of view, but it looks like they are GPL-licensed, and according to the Mozilla license policy, the GPL is not compatible with the MPL v2.0. As such, I don't think we're free to directly import them. Maybe they could be made available separately via an add-on or something like that.
